@wplalonde In the thread starting at https://mastodon.art/@eyeling/116369298873773769 the photographer @eyeling identified a very similar-looking plant as “springy turf moss” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhytidiadelphus_squarrosus

@mjd Mosses are tricky! They do look similar, but 𝘙𝘩𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘶𝘴 grows in soil and the moss in my pic is epiphytic (it's growing on a tree trunk).
